  • After Effects Slow Motion and shutter speed

    Posted by Gene Weglarz on June 19, 2011 at 7:58 pm

    I recently shot some action footage at a shutter speed of 500. I am trying to find the best way to add slow motion to parts of the clip. I have looked at some of the tutorials, but have not found anything that explains the timewarp effect in detail.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    The Timewarp effect documentation [link] explains each parameter. Do you have a specific question we can try to help with?

    Since you have the footage at 500fps, you have slow motion already. If you import the footage in AE at 29.97 or 25 or whatever fps you are working at, you will have instant slow motion. You are probably asking how can you have speed changes in the shot. Time Remapping is one way to do it:

    Maybe I misread the initial post. Geoffrey, do you have 500fps video, or video at a standard frame rate shot with a shutter speed of 1/500th of a second?

    Or I may be wrong- Walter I think you read it well, the shutter speed is 500. In any case, Time Warp or Time Remapping will do the trick.

    Yes the shutter speed was 500, not 500fps. So, I have real clear images in the footage at every frame. I played some with Time Warp but need to look at the parameters cloder.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for all of the feedback. I used the time remapping effect in AE5 and was able to get what I needed. Each frame was clear and not blurry, which is what I was searching for.

    Thanks.
